Shahid Kapoor’s Deva saw a sharp drop in collections on its first Monday, earning ₹2.5 crore. Will the film sustain in the coming days?
Strong Opening Weekend but Monday Decline
February 4, 2025: Shahid Kapoor’s latest action-packed thriller Deva had an impressive start at the box office. The film collected ₹5.5 crore on its opening day, followed by ₹6.4 crore on Saturday and ₹7.25 crore on Sunday, bringing the total weekend collection to ₹19.15 crore. However, the momentum slowed down on Monday, with the film earning only ₹2.5 crore, marking a significant drop in numbers.
Box Office Collection Breakdown
- Friday (Day 1): ₹5.5 crore
- Saturday (Day 2): ₹6.4 crore
- Sunday (Day 3): ₹7.25 crore
- Monday (Day 4): ₹2.5 crore
- Total Collection (4 Days): ₹21.65 crore
The film’s Monday earnings represent a 65% decline from its Sunday collection, which is a common trend for many Bollywood releases after the weekend rush.
Critical Reception and Audience Response
While Deva has received mixed reviews from critics, Shahid Kapoor’s intense performance has been widely appreciated. However, some critics have pointed out flaws in the screenplay and the climax, which has been altered from the original Malayalam version. Despite this, the film has managed to surpass Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force in total box office earnings so far.
Competition and Future Prospects
The real test for Deva lies in the weekdays ahead. With upcoming releases and competition in theaters, the film will need steady footfall to maintain its run. If it sustains well over the next few days, Deva could still emerge as a box office success.
Final Thoughts
Despite the Monday slump, Deva remains a strong contender at the box office. Shahid Kapoor’s gripping performance and the action-packed storyline have drawn audiences, and if word-of-mouth remains positive, the film could see a revival in collections in the coming days.
